these are amazing

Such gorgeous Japanese embroidered balls:

The Seahawks lost at home. For the first time in two years. 10-17 against the Arizona Cardinals.

This is the first time Russell Wilson (the 'Hawks's quarterback) has ever lost at the Clink.

So they still haven't clinched the first round bye or home field advantage. They've got one more week to do it, against the St. Louis Rams, at home. I hope they can do it.

Having your team lose is a lot worse when you get so used to them winning. Sigh.
